Three black people eagerley waiting their turn to vote
Why was the government racist when their the ones who should be helping them, not denying them their civil rights?
It doesnt matter who you are, as long as you are a
legal citizen of the USA you should have the right to vote
Two private voting booths
How did black people stand up to such discrimination?
Discrimination against black people is wrong, but not
even allowing them to vote makes it alot worse
An American flag in the backround
Why should one groupm of people be picked so much that people had to die?
One of your civil rights is that If you are old enought
to vote, and you are a legal citizen, you cant be denied your right
A curtain and a plant in the backround, what looks like a stge
I wonder if black people could stand such racism, what could we do for other countries and their problems?
This voting session takes place in a large cafeteria
An exit sign on the wall
Why did racism even start over the color of someones skin? Theyre still human and should be treated like any other person

One example of discrimination from chapter four is when Dorothy went to tgo register to vote, the "Coloreds" door was locked, and everyone inside ignored her. This means that no one inside cared if a "colored" person wanted to vote and were to lazy to even letb them inside. Another example of discrimination is that black and white people had to go through different doors to do the same thing. Also, colored people had to answer an impossible question that had been purposeley been typed with a bad "b". Another example is the woman at the registration office illegally charged Dorothy five dollars for a registration fee to vote. In conclusion, these are only a few ways of discrimation in "The Tugging String".

In Chapter 6,
When colored people wanted to have a march to protest againist what they have been going through. But, of course white people have forbidden the marches so they couldn't protest to make people have smpathy for them and try to help. If they would've had that march maybe some of the things they have been going through would be over. They also blocked the bridges so they couldn't have the parade. But the black people weren't intimidated. They blocked the bridges with not a barracade but state troopers.When they tried to run away from the state troopers wouldn't let them run away so they chased them and wouldn't let them just leave in peace they had to make them suffer.

The colored people wanted to protest against what they have been through. So the colored people wanted to have a park. The whites did not want that. The blacks were not intimidated about that.

In Chapter 6,
The colored people, including Hector and Dorothy, decided to have a march from Selma, Alabama all the way to Montgomery. The date was decided for March 7, 1965, which is today known as Bloody Sunday. It was going to be peaceful, but along the way a phalanx of state troopers stopped them. Without giving them a chance, the troopers beat them all up and no marcher was left alone. I don't know how those troopers could've done that without feeling one ounce of guilt, it just seems so wrong and cruel. Every single marcher was either sent to jail ot the hospital! Doesn't that seem sick, just to not let a single marcher off the hook? They were just standing up for what they believed in peacefully.
